  • Oct 2015 - Jan 2017

  Research activities included project management of an EPA funded project (2015/17) ‘New Jersey Wetlands Past, Present and Future’ using palaeoecology to identify the range of pollutant contamination, environmental degradation and potential recovery strategies in NJ coastal wetland. This lead to the development of a project for which I was PI (2016/17; $110,000 approx. £88,000) on a grant looking at anthropogenic pollutants in the Raritan River, NJ. In addition, to research in Borneo, Indonesia where I worked on long-term vegetation and fire dynamics at the Tuanan Orangutan Research Station to monitor habitat sustainability. Show less
